Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers of the proposed dwellings, with particular regard to the provision of external amenity space, privacy, daylight, and ventilation
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety, with particular regard to the provision of on-street parking
- whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Wellesley Road North Conservation Area
- whether the proposal would provide adequate refuse storage
What decided it
The proposal fails to provide adequate private external amenity space for future occupiers as required by development plan policy, and would have an unacceptable impact on highway safety through increased on-street parking without sufficient mitigation.
